Well, when you something to be reviewed, you're asking for an opinion from an unbiased pair of ears. Unfortunately, if all reviews were positive, the process would be an empty gesture. The problem is, there are some bad reviewers out there, who either pan everything or spend all their time kissing the butts of artists who are already "hip". My advice would be to consider his points, determine which of them have merit, then figure out which of those could be improved, and which ones can't be fixed without comprimising what's unique about your music. Also consider that music that requires a technical understanding of the process (for example, knowing what "looping" is) is often a hard sell to non-musicians. Personally, I know most reviewers would rip into my cd's too. The last time a record store reviewed one of my cd's, they listened to the first track and said, "Ho hum, more digital click-noise." Having heard a large number of demo cd's given to me by fellow musicians, the #1 piece of advice I can offer is QUALITY IS BETTER THAN QUANTITY! I have a number of 70 minute cd's that would get played a lot more if they were 40-60 minutes of the best tracks of the recording session, rather than 70-80 minutes of everything the musician has recorded since their last CD. That makes a BIG difference. It's much better for an audience to listen to a 45 minute cd and want to hear more than to listen to a 70 minute cd and feel oversaturated.
